Hey, y’all!
It’s the 15th of September (where, oh where, did the summer go?) and that means it’s time for the latest beautiful digital image from Marcella Hawley for the Power Poppy Instant Garden!

Marcy says “This is a simple early autumn botanical paired with thank you sentiments. I have been so fascinated with prairie wildflowers (note the Pure Prairie Bouquet), and this Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbekia hirta) goes along with that thinking!”

Without further ado, here’s what I did with this brand new, awesomely beautiful image:

I enlarged the image and cropped it a bit to fill the front panel of my card. The flowers are colored with my Kuretake Clean Color pens on Bristol Smooth Surface paper. I popped up my die cut, stamped sentiment with foam mounting tape.
Now please take a few moments to visit with the rest of the Instant Gardeners to see their fabulous creations:

Oh, Broni, I always LOVE your style and coloring, and your black-eyed Susan is beautiful! I love the soft yet bright yellows and the gorgeous shading, and what a beautiful layout with the soft blue matting. Stunning card, sweet friend! Hugs!

How very soft and pretty this is, Broni! Love the color palette, and the way you've popped up the sentiment! Beautiful card, my friend!

Of course, your coloring with those Zigs is stellar, and I love the popped up sentiment. Sweetest color combo in your card design, too. Sigh...
